No compassion for a woman being beaten though.
Is that who you share commonality with?
I have no idea what you are talking about
Michelle Malkin was attacked and beaten by antifa thugs.
RT stated that he has no sympathy for her because her actions have consequences.
RT has no compassion for a woman being beaten because he doesn't like what she says.
I guess he feels that she deserved it?
That’s not at all what I said. I was giving a dispassionate rationale for what happened. You are twisting my words to make it seem like I supported the action. I have said 3 or 4 times now that I do not but I understand the background mechanism and reason it happened. And that anyone trafficking in the kind of rhetoric she does had better have a helmet handy... you will piss some people off to the point of violence.

"I don't pity that fool for a second."
I don't really... I wouldn’t beat the women... but the rage the people who did it feel is understandable even if violence is not the answer. She’s said enough disgusting things over the years to make it harder to feel bad for her the way I would an old lady beaten by a mob. It’s hard to feel sorry for a terrible person. Sorry that bothers you.
Well... actions have consequences. Part of being an adult in a high status position is thinking through your actions. Are we to believe she is so detached from reality she couldn’t see what her words might cause someone else to do?
Woman. She's only one woman, and yes, that's a great reason to not beat her.
The best reason though is that she has the right to say what she wants. Don't like it, don't listen... but to condone violence or at the very least offer tacit approval of her assault is sickening.

You should be ashamed Mr. Compassion.
Tacit approval? I’m merely stating that she pissed a lot of people off and they finally reacted. Actions typically have equal and opposite reactions. These concepts are not in dispute.
Her n are not aimed at a dialogue or a deescalation... they are aimed at inflaming, ginning up, and exciting her supporters and angering and demonizing her opponents. All to make a buck. That starts to move things to “gee I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody beat her up someday”... not condoning it or approving it or anything else. Just saying it wouldn’t be shocking or surprising. As for her being a woman... when push comes to shove so were the folks beating her up.
Well FWIW as much as I don't care for Joy Behar I would never condone or find "joy" in seeing her get her ass beat by a mob of people or Rachel Maddow for that matter

Not do I. That doesn’t mean they don’t have a motive worth understanding.
